In this episode, I’m going to be talking about what educators can learn from bookstores and public libraries about creating a welcoming space for their students or patrons.  I’m going to review a book I just read that I’m really excited about, and we will answer a listener question about readers' advisory tools. The links below are all related to show content that I hope you will find helpful.

**Apologies in advance for the playback speed in the intro and outro--I'm still working out the kinks and appreciate your understanding!**
